First-Aid training available to faculty, staff, students

Last month at UH Mānoa, co-workers found an Office of Facilities & Grounds (OFG) employee collapsed and disoriented at an outdoor worksite. Thankfully, those co-workers had received CPR/First Aid/AED training from Campus Security. They immediately assessed the stricken employee’s condition, called for medical help, and stood by in case emergency resuscitation was needed.

Because time is of the essence when it comes to medical emergencies, quick action by bystanders who have been properly trained increases the rate of survival.

The next class will be on Wednesday, March 16, from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (with a one-hour lunch break) in Campus Center Room 203E. Cost is $26 for instructional manual and certification cards in First Aid and CPR.

To register or for more information, contact Campus Security Sgt. Gary Rivers at 956-8211 or grivers@hawaii.edu.
